PHILADELPHIA, Dec. q, 1887.
4. 4. Mcleod, Esq, Manager:
DEAR SIR: The strike ordered from Port
Richmond has developed the fact that
many of our old aud faithful employees
have been compelled by others to join the
organization known rs the knights OF
Labor. While the Reading Railroad Com
pany has never objected TO the em-
pl0yes voluntarily connecting them
selves with any labor organi-
zation they may see tit to join, it will pro-
tect at all hazards and at any cost from
being forced into any union where their
own wish would be to remain free, and
auy employe of this company, or of the
Coal and Iron Company, guilty Of using
any undue or improper influence upon any
OF our men 10 force them to Join any 40
ciety against their free will, will, upon
proof furnished us, be instantly dis
missed from our service, and never be
allowed to return to it, and any employees
furnishing such information will be fully
protected from any harm by reason there.

ARGENTINE WOOLS.

Shipments TO the United States Are Grow
Ing Less Under the Tariff.
WASHINGTON, December 27.-Consul
Baker, in report to the Department OF
State in regard 70 the wool production OF
the Argentine Republic, says that the
amount of fine wOOls shipped from there to
the United States annually is becoming
less. The cause of this, he says, Is IN
great part due TO the fact that the United
States tariff unintentionally, bat very un-
Justly, discriminates against such woods
from the Argentine Republic in favor Of
those from Australia, New Zealand, etc 4,
our system OF computing the duties max
ing 10 allowance whatever for the fact that
the dir and grease in the woOls "f the Ar
gentine Republic is fully 20 per cent.
greater than those of the former countries;
this excess of dirt and grease heing re-
quited to pay the full tariff rates for wool.
The only woods from the Argentine Repub-
lie which it is now possible to ship under
our tariff are the ''criallo," or long car
pet woods of the province of Cordoba,
which arc shipped from Rosario, and
which amount to about 10000, 900 pounds
annually

How Chicago knights of Labor Regard ih'
Reading Railroad Trouble.

How Chicago knights of Labor Regard The
Reading Railroad Trouble.
CHICAGO, December 27.-This morning s
Tribune says: The local Knights OF Labor
are watching the great strike of the Penn
sylvanla railroad employees with more than
ordinary interest. 1t is generally admitted
that upon the result of that contest depends
the existence of the Knights Of Labor as
national organization. There is every rea'
sou to believe that the officers of the Cen
eral Executive Board have invited this con-
test.
Referring to this subject last night, a
leading Knight OF Labor said:
THE most effective argument made by
the 'kickers' at Minneapolis, and one that
could not be answered by Mr.. Powderly
and the supporters OF his administration,
was that every strike in which the Execu-
tive Board had been given control has re-
suited in a complete and overwhelming de-
feat. This record started with the great
Southwest strike, in which the Knights of
Labor in that part Of the country were
swept out OF existence. The administration
assumed control Of the stock yard strike,
and the defeat that followed cost the order
%, 600 members in Cook county and weak
ened the influence of the Knights all over
the country. This disaster was fol-
lowed by the defeat of the Long
shoremen in New York in a strike backed
by the most powerful district in the
knights of Iabor-District No. 49-and
supported by the aggregated resources of
the entire organization. Nothing succeeds
like success, and the opposite is equally
true. During all this time the American
Federation of Trades was winning strike
after strike. The stampede to the latter
organization commenced Immediately after
the stock yards strike, and has been on
the increase ever since. The general of.
fcers of the Knights OF Labor are fully
alive to the situation and have decided to
